There was a time when some of those countries DID lead the world in violence. Everything cycles. It is America's time now as both the top dog empire AND as the most violent "civilized" country (note that many places in the world ARE currently much more violent however). It should be no surprise based on history that the 2 go hand in hand . . .My point is that it is an unfortunate inevitability of humanity that we are violent as a species.

***My point is that it is an unfortunate inevitability of humanity that we are violent as a species.OK, so that is your point, wrong as it is. However, you are choosing to ignore the scores of writers, philosophers, etc, people like R... oops, sorry, you will start crying again at my mentioning some names... anyway, some of those philosophers who believed the human beings could be made better, and should strive to be better... that humanism was something that separated us from animals.
People like Belushi, OTOH, promoted the return to animals instincts.
